Examining the place in orbit around 100 spacecraft. Taken to support more than 80 satellites. By monitoring the cessation of existence of more than 140 ballistic space objects.

Special attention was paid to CSC experts GC control the composition and state orbital groups of foreign space systems and conduct experiments in orbit with satellites of foreign countries.

Russian space control system is designed to provide information support tasks parry the threats from space and in space, smooth deployment and functioning of national groupings of spacecraft, as well as the evaluation of other risks associated with man-made space debris.

In coming years, the main center for service CSC received new radar systems, optoelectronic devices, the newest means of radio control, which will significantly enhance the capacity of the national system for the protection of the interests of the PSC of the Russian Federation and its national security, today www.arms-expo.ru.
